You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World

by Ada Limon

I become aware that I am in a body, yes, but it is a body connected to these trees, and we are breathing together.

“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.” Going to the woods, or simply noticing the small defiant ways nature is thriving all around me on a daily basis, helps me feel that communion.
